I've been flying the Spark for two weeks now. Bought the Flymore Combo with an additional battery (3 batteries in total). So far I've gotten a gimbal and 3D sensor protective case, an OTG cable, a short USB type C cable, a backpack, a better phone mount for the controller, a parabolic range extender, some micro SD cards and now I'm considering to buy a cheap, used iPad Mini 2 just to use as a display. If you want to buy OEM accessories for your Spark, just browse Lazada, plenty of stuff there. I'm still eagerly awaiting for the Polar Pro filters to arrive here.
As for the drone, I've only flown twice so I'm still learning the ropes. Quite happy with it so far considering the size. I'm not a pro photographer or videographer so not too fussed about the resolution. Quality is decent for social media and YouTube use. But it has definitely made me itch, will definitely upgrade to the upcoming Mavic Pro 2 next.
Oh one more thing, please get the Flymore Combo. A world of a difference when you fly it with the remote. I feel the gesture controls are a bit gimmicky, will hardly use them. And controlling with your phone loses a lot of range and you can't have a precise control over the aircraft. Getting the Flymore Combo is a must!
Happy flying!

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Jul 12 2017, 10:15 AM) how much total you spend on your stuffs? It wasn't cheap, but I figured since most DJI products are cross compatible (e.g. Mavic Pro's controller accessories are compatible with Spark's) with one another, no harm in making a solid investment from the start. If I've to put a number to it, I'd say around RM4.5k, inclusive of the Flymore Combo and additional battery. This post has been edited by blinky: Jul 12 2017, 10:34 AM

QUOTE(K1d0 @ Jul 12 2017, 10:38 AM) Faster get 1 and try, you will not disappoint with it btw it's recommend to connect your phone to RC via OTG cable to reduce video latency, and if you're using edge phone its better to get a external phone holder for RC. Mavic/Spark RC when mount edge phone, the edge its kinda hard to press and if your lightning/usb-c/micro usb cable is not L-shape, you will have abit discomfort holding the remote too  Couldn't agree more. For some reason, the WiFi connection between the controller and your mobile device is really unreliable. Before you even take your Spark out for the first flight, please buy some OTG cables and a short (25cm) charging cable for your device. They're inexpensive and really improve the experience.

QUOTE(angel-girl @ Jul 13 2017, 09:00 AM) yea the gps unstable and i keep getting signal lost too. and the drone drop from where its hovering straight to the ground(without stopping and straight hit the ground,lucky it was on grass), not sure if its emergency landing  If you're under 20m (or 20 ft, don't remember) away from the drone, it will land from where it is at and not at the home point.

QUOTE(nitehawk @ Jul 13 2017, 05:24 PM) Can I charge the remote controller using powerbank? If yes, what type of powerbook is suitable and how long does it take to full charge it? Anyone can recommend bag to keep Spark, Remote Controller, 2-4 batteries, charging hub, charger and prop guard? Thank you. Yes, you can. But it'll take longer, about an 1 hour+ to charge one battery. Any powerbank is fine. I bought a Timbuk2 backpack for my Spark, the one that came with the Flymore Combo was too small for my liking and I didn't like shoulder form. The Timbuk2 bag is perfect for me, it has all the compartments that can segregate and fit all the accessories perfectly.

QUOTE(nitehawk @ Jul 13 2017, 05:58 PM) How much is the backpack and where can I buy it? Can you provide product info link? Thank you! This is the one I got http://www.timbuk2.com/ramble-pack/1736-3-...aptop-backpacksYou can find it in Bratpack outlets. Going for RM400 I think. But I got it at a discount, RM239. Not sure if the sale is still on, though. It's a brilliant bag though. Timbuk2 makes really quality stuff, and this particular model has a lot of small pockets for different accessories. There are two small pockets that fit the two extra batteries that I have perfectly, and two smaller pockets that fit the extra propellers properly as well.
